The files in this directory contain source code for the XEmacs
facilities written in Emacs Lisp. *.el files are Elisp source, and
*.elc files are byte-compiled versions of the corresponding *.el
files. Byte-compiled files are architecture-independent.
#### Someone please update this.

The only files which remain at top-level are those which you might
reasonably want to alter when installing or customizing XEmacs at your
site. The files which may appear at top level are:
paths.el You may need to change the default pathnames here,
but probably not. This is loaded before XEmacs is
dumped.
site-init.el To pre-load additional libraries into XEmacs and dump
them in the executable, load them from this file.
Read the instructions in this file for a description
of how to do this.
site-load.el This is like site-init.el, but if you want the
docstrings of your preloaded libraries to be kept in
the DOC file instead of in the executable, you should
load them from this file instead. To do this, you must
also cause them to be scanned when the DOC file is
generated by editing ../src/Makefile.in.in and
rerunning configure.
site-start.el This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, before the
user's .emacs file.
default.el This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, after the
user's .emacs file, unless .emacs sets the variable
inhibit-default-init to t.
version.el This contains the version information for XEmacs.
